Cricket across the Sea: or, The Wanderings and Matches of the Gentlemen of Canada 1887 by two of the vagrants
Toronto: James Murray, 1887. 8vo., mounted photograph of the team (title slightly soiled, pp. 167-68 and 199-200 with marginal tears), grey buckram, speckled edges, original front wrapper preserved. Provenance: Alfred J. Gaston (signature on wrapper) -- M.C.C. Library (bookplate).
The Canadian Eleven were mostly drawn from the Toronto Cricket Club, and all born in Canada. After victories against All New York and the Gentlemen of Ireland, the Canadians lost to the Gentlemen of Scotland. In England they experienced mixed fortunes but returned home deeply impressed by the extent to which cricket was part of national life, so much so that the banners commemorating Victoria's jubilee read "fifty not out". Allen 133: "rare"; Padwick 5744.
